Jets players were upset and baffled by the turn of events in Sunday's game, but Todd Bowles is ready to move on.

Explaining the decision to cut WR Jalin Marshall, Jets coach Todd Bowles said they needed a backup slot corner against the Patriots. That's why they signed CB Xavier Coleman from the practice squad. He backed up Buster Skrine. Darryl Roberts and Juston Burris are perimeter cornerbacks. So was Marcus Williams, who was cut last week. To make room for Coleman, they cut Marshall because he was an "extra receiver," per Bowles. He didn't rule out re-signing him at some point.

Jets coach Todd Bowles was in no mood to rehash the controversial fumble. "I don't give two shakes about it," he said. He added, "That wasn't the reason we lost the game. We've moved on from that. It doesn't change. We're not gonna cry about it all week. We have to go play Miami."

Both Leonard Williams and Steve McLendon said they believe the Jets are good enough to contend for the playoffs. But McLendon added, "In order to have a playoff team, we have to beat Miami" this week.

Jets QB Josh McCown took the high road on the controversial fumble, saying it's time to move on even though he's still not sure why an apparent TD was over-turned: "The league is putting a lot of resources into trying to get those things right. Ultimately, when you bring in replay and send it to the league office and everybody is looking, you hope all those eyes on it make the best decision. ... Obviously, when it doesn't go your way, there's a human element that's very frustrated."

Al Riveron, the NFL's head of officiating, stood by his call to overturn Austin Seferian-Jenkins' touchdown catch against the Patriots, saying it was "clear and obvious" that the Jets tight end fumbled the ball.

Josh McCown & Co. showed they could hang with the Patriots -- and if not for a controversial call on a replay review, might have had a major upset.

Jets QB Josh McCown suggested he wasn't totally to blame on his interception before halftime. "It was just something Robby (Anderson) and I need to keep working on, just the angles of his routes and how we're going to do things and the location of the ball," he said. "I promise you, we'll get better at that."

Referee Tony Corrente explains that Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins never completed the process of recovery when he lost control short of a score.
